Blessing of the Animals

Bring your furry friends and join us Sunday October 4 at 4:30pm for the Blessing of the Animals.  We’ll meet in the church Prayer Garden and give thanks for the animals that befriend, enrich, entertain, and protect us.  And if your pet doesn’t travel well, feel free to bring a picture of them to bless instead.

Coats Against the Cold

It may not feel like it outdoors, but before you know it, fall and winter will be here. As in the past, the United Methodist Men are kicking off their 14th Annual Coats Against the Cold Mission. The goal of this mission is to provide the Right Coat in the Right Place at the Right Time.You have been so generous in past years, we are praying that you will continue to support this critical mission.

Last year, we collected nearly $3,000 in donations that went for the purchase of coats. Together with those funds and donations of items, we distributed a total of 1230 cold weather items of which 817 were coats. Coats were distributed to our various partners and missions: Northside Inter-Community Agency (NICA), United Gospel Mission (UGM) St. Paul UMC, Dove Elementary, Grapevine High School, GRACE and finally our own Helping Hands mission. Our goal is to surpass those numbers. The need is even greater than last year.

You can bring donations of men’s, women’s or children’s new or gently used coats, sweaters, sweatshirts, gloves, or hats to the collection area at the church, on the landing by the elevator. You can also make a financial donation to support this effort by writing a check, through your regular electronic giving method or by clicking HERE; just make sure to note the gift is for Coats Against the Cold.

Thank you in advance for your generosity as we live out our church vision to be an outwardly focused church that engages the local community!
